At a meeting of the various political orcan

appointed to nrranire for participation

At Hendricks' residence this alleirnoon
and evening a curious crowd continued
about the entrance , and the pallors we-it
filled with callers. For the tirst time since
her husband's death , Mrs. Hendricks' came
down stalls lo dinner this evenlni' . and
talked cjuietlyand compo > eid with her relative
tivehavinc recovered somewhat from the
prostration of this moruiue. She icce'lved
rather a length } letter fioarMiss Cleveland ,
sister of the piesident , but on account of its
personal chararte-r. she declined to iriv e it w
tlie press. Just before daik Bishop Knicker-
bocKoi. of the Kpiscopal church called , and
with Mi * . Uendiieks went intotiic darkened
chamlK-r , wheie the body was lAgueh dis-
cernablc , and prayed fervently and emnestly.
To her Irlendij she gave a loviiift iic-
couut of her husband's last hours ,
what he was doini : nnd what he said
about ordinarv allairs , there not beinir any
aj > jirelicnsion on the part of either ot the
Miekteu futal tennraation ol his illness.
When Ivlng on the bed , only a few liouis
beloic Ills death , he read several papers.
Only a few hours hefoielil death , lie read a
fewjiajiersand alow chapters in the "Lazarus
of Coiidon. " in which he apj > eaied much In-
tcit"-ten , and discussed with hei Uie book nnd
the elispatches in the papers. He wanted to
lie at work answering letters to personal
friends , but she urired that he should ie.man
qtnt'i in accordance" the physician's iu-
Mructtons. She talked calmly of these
thing-i. but when she attempted to
tell how , aflei leaving him cheerful
anil almo = t fiee from pain foi
a few minutes she i eturned to nnd him cold
In death she bmke down completely and vv cpl
almost hystcriiyilly. Tlie ladles who wci
with her could administer no couilort , but
after a time she grew calm again and ex
pressed her appreciation of the kindness ol
her friends and neighbors and the citizens
generally , who lelleved her of o much caie
and anxiety in matters pe-rtainlni : to the
luneral. To-night the house was closed and
visitors excluded , the lamilv of her brother ,
S. W. Monran , and her niocei lemaiuhig with
hei. Ab dmkness came on the curious crowd
on the&tieet in front of the residence dis
persed , and nobody was left but the uni
formed sentry v ho pacenl solemnly up and
down before the entrane-e. The body eif tht
vice piesldeut Mill remains In the f rout pailor
chamtiernp stalw , which is darkened and
guarde-d.
The cast taken of tlie face this morning
was not wtiFfaciory , and aui > ther will be
taken to-morrow jus | befoie' the body Is put
In the coffin , and with this es.tia precautions
and caie will be taken.
The city 1m now put on the ensign of
nioiirniiii : . IViblic buildings are covered
w ith black , and above them all lire flags at
half masu Hundreds of business houses and
residences aie likewise dipped , and it is a
noticeable fact that in the portions. of the city

ple aie , in almost even- one of them there is
u picture ot the vice president , Ktirroumlod
by crape ot snme other emblems ot sorrow
and re-pecC This is by no means conven
tional , fur it indicates better than anything
else could the ctrone hold llendrieks had on

HIS CHILD.
A Father Confesses the Killing of Hi *
Dnncliter.
LoGAsrorrr. . Ind. , Nov. 'JT. This commu
nity is wonderfully wiought up over the
death-bed confession of Clement Gransingei ,
who died ut his home , Washington town
ship , Sunday nichL The fact is made public
to-day that Gransiuzer confessed to murder
ing his own daughter. About six years ago
the announcement was made that Annie
Granslneer had taken her own life. The
statement wa made by the gill's lather , who
lanto his nearest neighbor for assistance.
The , gill was lounel lying in the smoke-house
A haltei-strap susj > ended from h beam , be
neath which was a banc-1 , ana tlie blue and
bruised condition of the dead girl's neck , bore
out the statement of the apparently
grief-stricken father that tlie daugh
ter Sad exmimilt'Wl suicide. The
fun eral was held , und In n short time Clem
ent Gransinger le.rt his home in the country
and moved lo town. He led a m-.eiable ! life ,
living in a little , old shanty in this city. In
this shanty he had 31.503 com ealed. but it
gradually slipped away trom him. as he lo t
the control of hi * mt-ntal faculties. A few
months airo , broken down In b < > dy and mind ,
and with not a cent It ) his name , he was
taken out to his brother's to die. He lingered
along until last Saturdav , and vvaen told that
he could live but a few hours he rallied , and
calling several persons In the loom to his
bedride , made a confession thut amazed
tnem.
He stated thai the story of his dauzhter's
suicide was manufactiued ; that he had mur
dered her in order te > cover up the story ol his
Intimacy with her , which in a lew more
mouths must have become known to the
world. Ueturning homo one evening he
found her sitting out in the yaid near Uie
kitchen , paring potatoes. He went to the
bam , seemcd a halter strap , and , makinc
a noose cil It , sneaked up behind her nnd
strangled her to death. He then dragired
the body into the smoke house with the in
tention ot hanging it to the cioss-beam. It
was too heavy , and he loosed the strap , tied
it to the l > eam , plae-cd the barrel In position ,
and the surroundings lndieaied that tlie body
hud just be n taken down. The e > ld man
staf-d that alter comiiiittlni ! the crime his
lile had be n a hell on eanh. He could not
raiiiiin on the farm , .aid moved to town In
the heipe that lemoving from the scene ot the
deed mil-lit Ios eu the teinblu recollection.
This , however , only apH'aied | to inciease his
mental atony. He could not die with the
awlul clime untold.

outside of all his old committees , without
any fixed plans , and successful alter a Ion ?

from his republican associates.
Senatoi John Sbei man is said to be anx

lieved it to be an important matter in the

serve upon that committee subordinate to
Mi. Moirlll , wlio has been the chairman
since Match. 177 , when.ir. Sherman left tht
senate to take the itosjtion ol recietaij ot tlie

Senator Ednmndi is also a candidate for
the place , liut senator Allison savs it is not
customary to elect a ptesldent pie tern of tlie
senate f i om the same section ol the country
as the piesident is from , bo seopraphical
objection is again > t Edmunds. Allison savs
ilhas always been the rule of the senate to
nominate a pte ident pro tern ftotn tlie we > t
when the piesident Mas Jrom tlie
east and vice versa. Senator Edmunds
was the exception to the rule and his elec
tion was brought about through a peculiai
combination of ciicuinstaiices. When Gar-
fceid became president Anthony was very
anxious to have the place and felt that he
was entitled to it on account ol his Ions ser
vice. Tlie republican .senators were willinp
to concede to this , lie received * he nomina
tion in the republican caucus. You vill re
member when the senate met in sjic-cia ! ses
sion that the parties weie so evenlv divided
that tlie jetmblicans could not elect their
nominee. Mr. Hayard was cho en and held
the place one day and then vie
dispossessed him bv electing David Davis ,
and when David Da vis went out we lemem-
l ered Anthony's claim. He was- then in
leeble health , and was- not able to come on to
the fall suasion. Mr. Edmunds wa * temporarily
arily put in his place to hold it until Mr.
Anthonj should be able to come Mr. An-
thouy never did come and M > . Edmunds was
naturally left in the place. This explains
how a president pro tern came to be elected
